You must enjoy get stuck in buildings due to bugged arma2 engine. I play 1st person and I don't get stuck on things or in buildings. Do you honestly think people are masochists just because they prefer a playstyle different from yours? This thread man, this thread.

Why would they admit to that if it is not the reason they like it?

Or, instead of punishing, you could prevent. Like this: Character stays on server for 20 seconds after logging out and freezes for 20 seconds after logging in. There, problem solved.

simply support and bump ..lets get something up and running that we can work with rather than having our ass's handed to us by people abuseing the system Please don't spam the thread with your own post. If people want to support your idea, they will do it without you telling them to.

This would prevent teleporting but not server hopping for loot. If you add a n-second freeze on connect, you get the best of both worlds.

maybe m8 wouldn't know I never play on 3rd servers I'm too fucking ard init :) I end up on 3rd person servers from time to time, mostly when I can't find 1st person servers with open slots. But every once in a while, I just want to look at my character sneaking around... Vanity by proxy, how pathetic is that? I'll go hide now.

I agree that some people want 3rd on and prefer it that way. We then need new leaderboards with separate sections. And playing on 3rd servers should mean you cant swap to none 3rd. Because using 3rd makes it easier to get loot and that easy gained loot should not be transferable to harder none 3rd servers. Well, I didn't take leaderboards into consideration because they mean absolutely bugger all to me, I'm in it for the immersion. Here's my solution: Get rid of the leaderboards. I agree with the leaderboards lets get rid. now tell my why someone who has it easy to get loot on a 3rd server should be alowed to take that loot onto a server where its harder to earn. I don't think it makes that big of a difference. Low difficulty servers seem to be full of very trigger happy people so that kinda makes up for it.

Maybe where you live. If you live in the UK and want low ping they are harder to find than 3DP=1 servers.

Can you please elaborate? It might be because of me not being a native english speaker, but I can't find the meaning of your post. Also. what is this 'lawl' of which you speak?

I like 1st person and no crosshair, so I play on [3DP=0 CH=0] servers only. Other people like other things and therefore play on different servers. What is the problem? As long as the rules are the same for everyone on a given server, nothing.

Not trying to play backseat mod here, but wouldn't it be more fair to delete the surplus threads instead of punishing those who actually use the official one by turning it into a cluttered mess? Anyway, on topic: I agree there should be a logout timer, but I think that a login timer is equally important. With a logout timer only, barrack hopping and behind-you-teleporting is still possible. Do anyone disagree? I would like to hear why, maybe I have ovelooked something. It happens.

I think it's a server side thing, but not sure. I guess we'll have to wait for something official from Rocket, and he is busy with the patch atm. My advice: Stay out of the water! http://www.heavy.com/comedy/2011/07/20-reasons-to-stay-out-of-the-water/3/

I did. I'm aware that you aren't talking about actual ingame babies, I was just making a joke. Obviously, it fell flat. I'll leave you guys to you semantics now. Ta'.

Personally' date=' banning a player for anything other than hacking is not realistic in a game mod based on SURVIVAL. Since I began playing the game, I just came to understand that the whole purpose of the game was to survive, plain and simple. I really don't care if players server hop, loot farm, or disconnect during a fight (even if I am engaged with them), since ultimately they are only doing the same thing I am trying to do - survive. If you cannot take down your enemy in a couple of shots, they disconnect, come back, and then kill you; well IMO I do believe you deserved to be killed. Simply put, make a good headshot, and it doesn't matter what weapon you possess, it will take them down (that is if you are not "lagging" at the time). [/quote'] But long hectic firefights are fun. Why would you defend a gamey exploit that reduces combat to headshots only? For me the immersion is the best part of this mod, teleporting wizards and 'BOOMHEADSHOTLOLOL' combat ruins it. Instead of 'dealing with' exploits, remove them. EDIT: I'm not talking about banning people for DC'ing, but about preventing them from doing it by introducing login/out timers.

I change enough diapers in real life, thank you very much. I wouldn't mind having dogs in Dayz , maybe a pack of wild aggressive dogs on each server, and 2-3 you could befriend? What this game really needs though, is more bicycles. Many many more. Something like fifty per server would be a good start.

Good to hear, did you get him in the game as well? The number of seconds is not really a cardinal point for me, it would have to be subject to rigorous testing to get it right I think. I do think the login freeze is crucial though, as it would take care of the barracks server hopping, as well as preventing the teleport-behind-you 'sploit.

If you add a 20 sec freeze on reconnect to that, it would be bliss. Cheating would be out, thinking ahead back in. People would no longer have a reason to moan about 'those pesky bandits', as they would have an even field to fight back on.

How awesome? All of the awesome. The handcar would beat even the bus in the 'crazy-shit-happens-real-fast-around-here' kind of gameplay. I would also like to see more bicycles on the servers. Like fifty, say.

But I want to believe... Maybe if I just follow this here yellow brick road I too can find this parking lot of dreams.

Was it on or off map?

Because a Makarov works just like a force field against people sniping you from half a kilometer away. Better even, it's like a solid steel wall. The Makarov makes it possible to achieve perfection, to reach the stars! Sing with me: "Ooh Makarov" "OOOOH Makarov!" "How you saved me from certain deeeath!" (high pitch) "Wheeen you have a Maaakarov, who needs a bulletproof vest!"
